When I was 7, I was playing Pokemon Blue on a long car ride to the beach. I had just caught Zapdos and it was the greatest moment of my life. Then the bumpy car, no back-light, and my penchant for car sickness, made me throw up on myself. My Dad pulled the car over while my Mom cleaned me off. Then she did the unthinkable and turned off my Game Boy before I was able to save my progress. I was so angry and upset that when we got back on the road, I turned the Game Boy back on and played until I threw up again.-Duvey
